Kitties, Kitties, Kitties

I've been feeling ready to have a kitty or two back in my life again lately, and even had one follow me around downtown Jerome. On two separate occasions. Weeks apart. The same cat. We didn't have a cat carrier so that kitty got to stay in Jerome, and I put my request in to the Universe that I'd like my cat to show up at my house so I know for sure that it's definitely for me. Soooo about 4 days later I'm walking around outside taking pictures of the house to post here and there's a kitty! Ta-Da! Am I good or what?? She's all gray and looks to be about a year old. She's very friendly and wants lovin, rolls on the ground so I can give her a good scratchin and I notice a perfectly square patch of her belly hair is shorter than the rest, has a recent scar from having been spayed and she looks to be nursing. Hmmmm... As I continue walking, out of the shrubs pops a little gray kitten and I double take! It's an exact duplicate of Mama and also very sweet and wanting love if a bit shy. Then moments later out pops a third! This time a little stripey baby who wants nothing to do with this unknown human. Climbing trees and pouncing on bugs are much more interesting!
They've been here about 4 days and seem pretty set on stickin around :-)


Meet my new furry friends!


Gray Baby who told Tashi his name is Kaion. as in Kai-on


Me & Gray Baby


Stripey Baby who told Tashi his name is Sayo.

The happy kitty family the day they found me :-)

Don't have a pic yet of Mama Cat, who told Tashi her name is Mayana, as she missed the photo shoot which was compliments of Kristi.
They all come running quite splendidly when I holler "Kitties!"

I picked Tashi up from hang out time at the mall this past Thursday and when she heard the kitties hadn't told me their names yet she set straight to work connecting with them and getting to tell her their names. ;-) Thank you Tashi!!
Now we just have to get them to learn them! ;-)

Spring is Popping Up at the Peace House!

Everywhere I go I'm seeing more signs of Spring! The trees are getting greener everyday, there's daffodils, poppys, and hyacinth blooming. I've seen buds on the purple iris, the tulips and the lilacs! And our own Apple and Peach trees are abloom!

Have you ever seen pussy willows on an Aspen??

Oh and did I forget to mention our Rosemary Shrub?

Happy Happy Spring Everyone!

Added some more pics today 5/5/08-Hey! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

The first Ladybug of the season!

Happy orange Poppys

Barrel of fleurs

Fluffy white flowers who proliferate without any watering by me! Whoo Hoo!

Renaissance Fair

Audree made all of our costumes and I made all of our hats! And I sold the 3 hats I had with me to a vendor at the fair who wants 20 more for a Ren Fair in Colorado in June & July!! Whoo Hoo! And And she would have bought all the hats off our heads too, if we'd been willing to part with them ;-)

L to R Kristi, Zack, Audree, Tashi, Bree, me

People LOVED our costumes! We got so many positive comments, and Tashi and I got quite a few, "awww, you look like easter eggs!", which was fine since we were actually there on Easter!

Money, Money, Money!

Soooo I've been kind of freaking out about money this week. Both of the businesses are taking longer to launch than is my preference. So today has been all about making friends with money, playing with money and being more open to receiving money from the Universe.

Kristi and I have been chatting about the Feng Shui of my room and how I can help it along a bit, and I realized when I was looking more closely that I have not only the prosperity corner for my room to address I have the whole house's prosperity corner too!

So she produced from her wallet a $100 dollar bill that I happily scanned front and back into my computer as well as a play bill of $1,000,000 that I scanned too. So I've been printing money bwah ha ha, no but really I'm not going to spend it just hang it in my prosperity corners and keep it in my wallet to help me feel as if I'm abundant cuz that's how the law of attraction works...

Here are my sheets of money!

Then we got to brainstorming more about it and Kristi came up with the idea of putting my picture over Ben's on the hundred so I did!!! That was sooooo fun! You cannot even imagine what it's like til you actually see your own picture on it. So if anyone would like a personalized $100 dollar bill, just let me know. I would love to create that for anyone that asks.

And if that's not enough to jumpstart the flow of money into my life Kristi sent me the link to a blank check from the Universe! Wahoo! So I wrote myself a check today from God in the amount of money that would get me caught up with bills and have some left over, and then I wrote out checks for all my bills! It felt so good to have the energy around money shift from lack consciousness to abundance, and that will help bring more abundance! Thank you Kristi for all your support and amazingly great ideas!

Some of you may think this all sounds a little too woo woo or whatever, but I haven't got anything to lose now have I? And plenty to gain... I'll keep ya posted :-)

Paddling!!

We, Kristi, all the kids, me and Steven, all went to Goldwater Lake Friday afternoon for our first paddle of the season, though now that I've uploaded all my pics none of them indicate that we did indeed paddle-oops.

The water there, like Watson is super high! Wahoo! So much so that the entire boat launch is under water as is about half the parking area at the boat launch! Again, I've never seen the water this high in all my years here. It. Is. Amazing.

After paddling, swinging and snacking Steven, Tashi and I went to check out the dam and lower lake... But, first, Tashi the monkey girl, had to climb a tree. All the way to the top of an Alligator Juniper.

This is the back side of the dam and the creek made by the water coming over the spillway.

Tashi found a crawdad in the creek!

Here's Steven, who thinks he's gonna rock climb up the wall right there, uh huh... riiiiight... ;-)

Water coming over the spillway.

Here's the lake from the top of the dam. Sorry about the blurries. I forgot to change back to landscape from close-up after I photo'd the crawdad...

Looks like this coming weekend might be "laking" weather again so maybe I'll be able to post some pics of us actually paddling! ;-)
